A FLIRTING HUSBAND.


A Pretty Girls Punishment Of Married
Masher-A Car Scene.
Do the foolish men travel more than the
others, or does 1t make man silly to put
him on car and send him away from homei
/ ask this question because meet SO many
men acting like idiots on every journey
take. Directly in front of me on recent
journey sat pretty girl, perhaps % years of
age, and across the way was fine looking,
middle aged man with q sweet faced wife,
two lovely children and nursemaid. This
party was evidently returning for some pro-
longed visit to the country, and heading for
''Grandma'sn to stay until the holidays. The
conversation of the children told all this to
every one in the parlor car. Presently when
mamma was deep in new book, and nurse
had the babies on q sofa at the end Of the
car, the scamp of a husband opened the cam
paign by surreptitious smiles in TIC looking
glass at the pretty girl During the day he
flirted with her. As the Madonna faced wife
bent over her novel, the man would Rake
eyes right over her shoulder to the amuss-
ment and disgust of the passengers
Finally he went to rack In which tele-
graph blanks were deposited, took one and
retired After a while he came back, walked
TO the opposite end of the car and as he re-
turned he swayed with its motion and
adroitly laid folded paper on miss knee.
1t was the telegraph blank and on it was
this: Il am strangely interested in you and
desire a further acquaintance. VIII you

note addressed to John johnson, 964 -

some signal before l leave lat the next sta
tom that l may know my fate The girl
read over and over this impudent communi-
cation. Then, as she felt the eyes of half the
passengers upon her, she got afraid of the re-
suit and she turned to a lady, passed the pa
per over and asked, What would you dc
were you in my placer
An old gentleman in front spoke up: ''Givs
that paper, whatever there is on it, to thai
insulted wife"
Well, bless mel if she didn't get up, eros

the open Communication on her lap, and say

moment ago. Idont quite understand it.

opments with intense interest. Some wer,

sure of the man for her sake, but the lad,
quietly read it through. She was pale a
ashes, but she turned glance of such con
tempt on the man that we all knew there wa

iNcOMPLETENEoS,

To reach high heaven, and fail in entering;
To sight love In his glory and his grace,
And turn back to this heavy hearted place;
Ali surely Is the load Of pain we bring
Desires unsated and fond hopes that cling
Like ivy on our souls, still worse to bear
Than all the WEAKNESS tinged with despair,
That comes of knowing full how sweet thing
Love is No perfect hour through memory
Shall make he'll heay'n by its preponderance;
The gloom shall meier be raised with thinking,
once
Life was not So Our hungry souls shall be
Fed on ripe kisses left untouched, and see,
Crying for light NO trace of any dawn
But that one day we turned our backs upon.
